The news of cooling measures in December 2021 came as a relief to many, but January’s numbers have thrown a wet towel over some homeowners’ hopes. Resale flat prices seem to be higher despite the cooling measures, and it begs the question: if cooling measures don’t calm the market, what will? Flash estimates show HDB prices climbed by just over...

Many people like the idea of a duplex apartment (just like an HDB Maisonette). You often get separate living spaces so it’s more private, and sometimes you might even get a high ceiling in the living/dining area – which is always a unique feature to have in a home. In my first article about my search for a new home...

From the days of HDB terrace houses to today’s tiny flats, the concept of an HDB property has changed over the years. We see it quite often on the faces of older Singaporeans: Whenever someone is buying their second flat after many decades, they say things like “Wow, is this a condo or an HDB flat?”, or “Huh? This is...

In the first article on affordable waterfront condos and cluster houses in Singapore (which looked at condos around Jurong Lake and West Coast), a kind reader left a comment asking to do the same for North and East Singapore (always good to know you guys are reading these articles, so keep the comments coming!). So today, I'll be going up...

When it comes to buying an HDB flat, Singaporeans are stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea. A delicate balance has to be struck between two extremes: Work harder so you have more money to actually buy a flat, but don’t work too hard or else you might bust the HDB income ceiling.

2021 has been rough on first time home buyers, as well as new investors. With property prices rising across the board, you’d be hard-pressed to find discounts, or even just a bigger condo. But property is always about specifics, and there are some districts where the price increases may not be as high as you’d expect. Here are 10 districts...

The news is rife about Pasir Ris 8, and it may seem like prices are only going one way – up. Amid all the positivity, however, we have a little beacon of hope: some projects have seen lowered, rather than raised, prices at their new launches. While there’s never a guarantee of a discount, here are some places where we’ve...

Buyers can’t seem to catch a break in 2021. Just when they’d hoped a return to Phase II might slow the pace, the opposite has happened: transaction volumes and prices have started to creep up. For those waiting in the wings, the “wait-and-see” approach may not pay off after all. Here’s a rundown of the top selling new launches, where...

The Singapore property market has been rife with conversations about the $1.295 million resale flat in Bishan. This record-breaker was a Design, Build, and Sell Scheme (DBSS) flat, and it’s the most expensive HDB transaction to date (yes, even more expensive than the HDB terrace house which broke the news, at $1.268 million). While rising resale prices are always a...
